The Spirit World

Chapter 502 Backtracking
"If, one day...

I'm sorry...I used the word if.

After all... we can't change the past..."

It was not dark here, so I could still see some things clearly, such as: golden flowers flowing on the vermilion high walls, glazed tiles standing like golden teeth showing delicate edges and corners, and in the flickering world, there were also those soft flowers like cotton wool that bloomed and quietly drifted away, which were suddenly visible - with bright light. Suddenly, they were invisible - after all, they drifted away, without a trace, and those purple nebulae, like gold, flashed for a second with a dim light, and then dimmed without any warning, merging into the darkness.

No one answered...

Even though he looked apologetic.

This is the most boring thing in this world.

"Just like I told you... your insignificance, no matter how kind a person without hard power is, can only be a weak cry."

A black shadow shuttled through the dark nebula like a ribbon. He also shuttled through like a sharp sword. Wherever he went, it was like cutting the blood vessels of the nebula and turning the nebula into foam. It was he who was shining. The nebulae would emit dazzling purple light when they were close to him, and then be dispersed by him like a ribbon.

His shadow passed through the top of the golden glazed tiles, hovering there without stopping.

"You want to be yourself...but the prerequisite is that you are qualified to be yourself..."

The evil voice of the black shadow echoed in this dark world. Palace after palace turned into a dreamy golden color under him. The golden color illuminated everything that could be seen. In the magnificent palace, all kinds of strange treasures sparkled. However, with his departure, these treasures also became extremely dim and disappeared into the darkness again.

As the master of three thousand palaces, he was ultimately too lonely and desolate.

"If... we could start over in history... wouldn't we have a better outcome... at least, at that time, you should have listened to me, and I should have listened to your advice."

He was obviously sad, but his voice was so passionate.
"But unfortunately... history cannot be repeated..."

"Just be yourself!"

His dull cry was like the melancholy after being helpless...

"I'll clear the obstacles for you..."

"what!"

Chang Yufeng woke up suddenly. He was sweating profusely, and his whole body was wet. The whole bed and clothes were sticky, making his breathing even more rapid.

He had a nightmare...

A dream that was so scary and yet so real.

He couldn't open his eyes...but he could tell that there should be someone sitting next to him, and that person's heavy breathing seemed to come out of his nose, with a slightly annoying sound.

"Dad..."

His tentative call startled Rajel, who was crossing his fingers and lowering his head with a gloomy look on his face. At this moment, his voice seemed to be stuck together, a little hoarse, like a deflated balloon, as he said: "Zi Zi...you're awake..."

Rajel suddenly scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Our son is really smart... Even without using his eyes, he can tell who is next to him..."

"It was my father's breathing that let me know..." Chang Yufeng didn't want to go back to sleep, so he closed his eyes and faced Rajel. Although he couldn't see Rajel's face, this man must be apologizing with a sudden smile like a big boy.

"Oh... so that's it... I'm sorry for disturbing Zaizai's sleep..." Rajel put down his hand and returned to his previous position. He looked at his fingers. The big hand was as anxious as his heart.

"No... nothing... just like what you saw... I had a nightmare..." Chang Yufeng lowered his head. The quilt was full of the smell of sweat. The smell was so strong that it meant that his nightmare had lasted for a long time... and it had even just eased.

He was awakened...his heart was beating so fast that Chang Yufeng broke out in a sweat. He simply threw back the quilt and prepared to get down.

As soon as he did this, Rajel pulled his hand up and touched the water cup.

"The water is here..." Rajel must be worried, otherwise his hands wouldn't be so sweaty.

"okay……"

Chang Yufeng was stunned for a second before taking the cup of water. He didn't feel thirsty, but he still took the cup and started drinking it.

"Zi Zi?"

"what happened?"

Chang Yufeng listened to Rajel's trembling voice. Rajel would not talk to him in the middle of the night for no reason.

"Zi Zi, I..."

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Chang Yufeng had no way of seeing his movements. He could only feel Rajel raising his hand from the slight breeze blowing on his head, and then a fist was placed on his head.

"Zi Zi... I'm so sorry... that this happened to you..." Rajel spoke slowly, and Chang Yufeng could foresee the sadness and confusion on his handsome and honest face.

"If your eyes can't be cured... I will really be a sinner for the rest of my life..."

A warm current flowed slowly like hot sugar water with some residual temperature. Chang Yufeng trembled inadvertently. Rajel's apologetic voice made Chang Yufeng tremble in an unimaginable way...

"It's okay...it will be fine soon...Dad, you don't have to worry..." Chang Yufeng took a sip of hot water, held the cup with a blue lion head printed on it in both hands, and placed it on his lap like a treasure. He didn't put it back, as that would trouble Rajel again.

"No... Of course I believe that Zi Zi... can get better, but this worry and self-blame keep me awake... I can only come to you... Although this won't make your eyes better, but I..."

Rajel's apology, along with his responsibility as a father, were clearly presented in front of Chang Yufeng.

Rajel, as my adoptive father, has benefited me a lot from his way of dealing with people. Or maybe this whole family is so kind. It is a blessing to be with such a family. I will follow them and try to go further and further on the path of kindness.

"It's okay... it was my own carelessness... you can't blame you, Dad... it's all my fault..." Chang Yufeng shook his head and faced Rajel with a smile. The dimples on the corners of his mouth were round, but Rajel did not change his mind and still looked at Chang Yufeng tenderly as if apologizing.

"As a father, I feel really guilty that my child is injured like this..." Rajel withdrew his hand, like a deep-minded old man, hunched his back, and looked at the wet spot on the bed.

“Dad is a very good dad… There is no father in this world who is better than Dad… Why should Dad blame himself…” Chang Yufeng nodded happily: “Yeah, that’s it… Dad should have confidence in himself… It’s my own fault that it turned out like this, Dad did nothing wrong… Don’t blame yourself… Otherwise I will really blame myself, I didn’t blame myself at first…”

"But..." Rajel seemed to have a lot to say, but after hearing what Chang Yufeng said, he just choked up and didn't know how to continue.

"Oh... it's okay... I have a very fast recovery ability... even a part as fragile as my eyes... can recover quickly. Maybe I will be much better tomorrow... I won't go blind... don't worry, Dad." The fat man Chang Yufeng has completely recovered and speaks very fluently. He is so mature now that it only makes Rajel think that he is sensible.

"You know what? Zi Zi..." Rajel seemed to have changed the subject and stopped talking about this matter. Instead, he started chatting with Chang Yufeng as if he was chatting with his family: "In this world, I think there is only one thing worth fighting for and protecting for a lifetime..."

"What?" "Family."

Rajel blurted it out without any hesitation.

Even when this tall man was sitting with his head down, one could still see that he was tall enough. The masculine charm he exuded surprised Chang Yufeng a little at this moment.

"In this spiritual world, there are too many separations and injustices... Money, fame and fortune are basically what most people pursue, and they regard the unreasonable theories derived by those who want to gain money and fame as the truth... I have seen too many people who have these two things and have lost their most basic humanity. Whether it is parents abandoning and killing their children, or children being unfilial and cruel to their parents, it cannot be simply summarized as a lack of education, but rather that their parents and children do not communicate enough..."

Rajel let out a dull breath, and Chang Yufeng listened without saying anything.

He could feel Rajel's deep fatherly love, like a big tree, unswervingly protecting him from the wind and rain.

"To me, the definition of family is that you can talk about anything and everything. We are family members who live together happily, and friends with whom you can open your hearts and tell any secrets without any reservation... Because only when the name of family exists can we embrace all the complaints and unhappiness of family members..." Rajel's voice was very deep, but it became light at this moment, and he laughed happily.

"Hmm..." Chang Yufeng was able to understand a little bit. He nodded and hooked his fingers on the handle of the teacup. He was even a little embarrassed and his face turned red.

"So... I think... if you are unhappy now, or need to complain, as a family, we can be completely honest with each other. I am willing to listen to everything you have... or your dissatisfaction with me as a father..."

Chang Yufeng was a little surprised by what Rajel meant.

"Dad, what are you talking about... How can I be dissatisfied with you..."

Chang Yufeng grabbed the handle of the cup in surprise and almost spilled the sugar water.

"No... maybe my expression was not clear enough... I mean... I want to tell you..." Rajel looked at Chang Yufeng cautiously. Although Chang Yufeng couldn't see, he could feel Rajel's soft voice.

"You regret not attending the Dragon Convention four years ago, right? You really want to... Actually, you really want to go to a magic school, right?" Rajel finished talking, causing Chang Yufeng to squint his eyes heavily. He slowly loosened his grip on the teacup, brought the cup to his mouth, and the sweet syrup flowed into his throat again. With an "ah", he said briskly, "So Dad thinks I would complain and be dissatisfied with you because of this kind of thing... Haha... Really..."

"Right... You think so, right? I have the ability to let you go to the magic academy... As your father... How could I not want my child to have a bright future? After all, a magician is better than a peasant."

Rajel felt a little guilty, but now that he had the words out, his movements and speech became natural in their fluency.

Chang Yufeng didn't think much about it, but answered him directly.

"Why would Dad think like this... Doesn't Dad always stand in my shoes and think about me? I can't thank Dad enough... right?" Chang Yufeng smiled and raised the teacup gently, wanting to put it on the bedside table, but Rajel quickly took the teacup and placed it on the bedside table. The blue lion head teacup had a faint blue light under the light.

"But, you are in danger because I didn't teach you magic... If you learned a little magic, you would be able to protect yourself... Zi Zi is so smart..."

"Well... of course... I'm dad's child... If I learn magic, I will definitely be the most powerful magician in the world and will never embarrass dad. But what does that have to do with now... This is all my own problem, not dad's. I will never be dissatisfied with dad..."

Right... In this world, if there are parents who can talk to their children like this and think from their children's perspective, how can such parents be bad?... Just like Rajel said, if there is no problem in a family that lacks communication, then there must be something wrong.

Rajel and Aria are both fine. It was entirely his own fault that he became a demon and got his eyes injured.

If you can think in this way, the current conversation makes Chang Yufeng feel so warm in his heart, and Chang Yufeng's happy look makes Rajel feel much more relieved.

"But... you are learning about guiding from Old Tom... and you have even registered for the position of a guide."

So that's how it is... they discovered it.

"Yes..." Chang Yufeng said with a happy smile: "I can learn anything quickly... If I want to learn, I can learn it naturally. What's the big deal? Right? It's just a guide knowledge."

“That’s right…” Rajel scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed: “That’s right, it doesn’t really matter… Hahahaha…”

I guess I'll be unwilling... I can't learn magic in a magical world...

Although Rajel did not reveal the real reason why he could not learn magic...that was the demonic energy in his body.

The seeds planted by Xun Huangying almost cut off his contact with magic, but what does it matter?

If the path of magic is not feasible... then try another one... There is more than one way to go in this world. After thinking through this matter and taking it calmly, how could I possibly complain to Rajel?

"Dad knows a friend... I hope I can recommend you to him... He is an extremely outstanding genius... He can definitely teach you more things... As for wizard knowledge, that is really a piece of cake. How about you go to him to learn? Since it is so easy for Jack to learn wizard knowledge! You will definitely become his best disciple!"

Rajel put his hand on his shoulder, looking relieved. Looking at the child with injured eyes, he went from feeling guilty at first to feeling relieved now, and he didn't feel too conflicted anymore.

However, what he said at this time made Chang Yufeng's eyes light up.

"Is it really possible?"

I have learned most of the knowledge about being a guide from Old Tom. If I were to be a guide for my whole life, it would be too far-fetched and not worth it. If I could advance further, then of course it would be my duty.

"It will be very hard, because he is also a guy who can't use magic...so when you encounter danger, you have to rely on your own intelligence."

When Rajel saw Chang Yufeng so happy, he felt relieved.

Chang Yufeng guessed that since he was led back by Lin'er and his eyes were bleeding so much... and he learned about the incident with Old Tom from Erica, it must have been expected that he would come to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

The guilt he felt for the child made Rajel's true thoughts even more sincere.

"It's okay if I don't know magic... It's not a bad thing... isn't it? This will make me more cautious... and not try to show off... I'm here now, right?"

Chang Yufeng smiled happily.

Although his eyes were injured...but he could feel that he would definitely recover.

This was not due to the foresight brought about by all the things he had experienced, but rather his confidence that he would not complain even if he could no longer see any light.

"His name is Pylos I. He teaches in Fran and is the youngest archaeologist!" Rajel seemed to be imitating Pylos's actions. He put his hands on his head as if he was wearing a hat: "If it's him, I can feel at ease..."

"Pylos..."

Chang Yufeng said this extremely familiar name...

The corners of his mouth inexplicably lifted up. For some reason, he was smiling happily... This inexplicable feeling of happiness was really interesting...

interesting……

So this is... fate?
